Heat pump replacement warning signs

As your heat pump nears the end of its life, it can be difficult to decide if you need heat pump replacement or if you just need heat pump repair. When you think you’re getting down to the wire, keep an eye out for the following heat pump repair warning signs:

Your heat pump is more than 10 years old.

This isn’t necessarily a sure sign that you’ll need heat pump replacement. However, if your existing heat pump is getting old and you feel like you’re getting it repaired constantly, you may want to consider heat pump replacement. If nothing else, a newer, more efficient heat pump could save you even more on your energy bills!

Your energy bills are going up.

If you take care of your heat pump and have it maintained regularly and it’s still starting to lose efficiency, this is a pretty good sign that you need heat pump replacement. It’s very difficult to restore the efficiency of an old heat pump, so at this point heat pump replacement might be your best choice.

You have uneven heating and cooling.

Uneven heating and cooling in your home may be a sign of leaky ductwork, poor insulation or, most commonly, heat pump failure. If your home has uneven heating and cooling and you think you need heat pump replacement, call James A. Wheat & Sons!

That paid off. Because of some glitches in the replacement, these two installers spent most...
